Assumptions Underlying Critical Editions of Literary Texts and Their Digital Form

Abstract

Digital scholarly editions of literary texts are now increasingly common, intended for relatively narrow audiences. The principles of model type A editions of Old Polish literature were formulated almost seventy years ago by the employees of the Institute of Literary Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences. However applicable today, these rules are rather observed and constitute a point of reference for the critical edition of later texts. Now, the question arises: Do available digital tools allow us to meet such requirements without difficulty? And aside from collection and storage, is the publication of digital editions likely to run into difficulties other than those faced by the printers of the past? The article tries to show how the development and implementation of IT systems (mainly applications and web services) may affect editions of the same sources.
